Good point. When Rose shows up to a game in sweats and lays down on the floor and eats Cheetos we'll know. I give this a 90% chance of happening.

According to Hanno, this guy just committed to Utah
Mikael Jantunen already a starter on the Finnish national team
https://eurospects.com/?page_id=6144
Now overcommitted by 2 for the class of 2019. The staff is learning from prior years and overbooking.........I like it, though it leaves the roster somewhat imbalanced towards bigs and my way too early guesses on transfers out.
2019-2020 roster as of now:
Bigs:
Johnson
Van Komen
Carlson
Battin
Thioune
Jantunen
Tillman
Wings/Points:
Jones
Jones
Gaskin
Popoola
Gach
Hendrix
Allen
Brenchley
So at least 2 of those guys will be gone. I would guess one will be Popoola, but I have a hard time seeing who will be the other. Probably someone (or multiple someones) will get buried and see the writing on the wall because they are buried behind people in their own class or a younger class. However, I have no idea whatsoever who that will be. Really hard to project that.
Another thing to note, the makeup of those 15 players is 2 seniors, 2 juniors (including Popoola, so draw your own conclusions there), 6 sophomores (depending on possible redshirts this year), and 5 freshmen. Crazy young team, it's going to be fascinating to see how these guys shake out.
Pop Sr. posted a tweet that Isaac Johnson is down to Oregon and Utah. Still no timetable for a decision. I believe he will leave for a mission right after graduation.
Signing day!
Ryaln Jones and Jantunen are in. Still waiting on Matt Van Komen..
Van komen is in!
Frankly, I don't want One-and-Done players to come through the program.
Not me. It would have been awful to have Lauri Markennen or deandre ayton. I would have refused to come to any games
So good thing we didnt get them.
Joking aside, i do think that it is a good thing that the G league is trying to take those guys out of college ball.
The real threat to college basketball isn't the g-league, its Lavar Ball's Junior Basketball Association.
2019 commits Matt Van Komen & Rylan Jones faced off last night. PG beat Olympus on a left handed layup with no time left on the clock. Casey Brown, a BYU commit also played.
At 7'4", MVK and disruptive. He has plenty of room to improve. I'd call him a project with a lot of upside.
Krystko was there watching his recruits. Olympus has Skyview on Friday, where we'll be able to assess Utah recruit Mason Falslev -- Utah will be playing in the P12 championship at the same time.
